Some dog owners are blessed with naturally obedient animals. You might not be one of them, but that’s no reason to sit still and put up with a willful dog who acts aggressive, behaves improperly in the house, or refuses to obey simple commands. These tips will make you have the puppy you always wanted.
If you are crate training your dog, you need to show them that this is where they will sleep. Feed your dog inside the crate with the door open. They’ll build a positive view of the crate this way.
Set a schedule and routine for feeding your dog from the very beginning of your relationship. A predictable feeding schedule and removing the food promptly will teach them to eat their food quickly. Shortly, the dog will start finishing their food well before you plan to take the dish away.
You should not tie up multiple dogs where they can reach each other, no matter how friendly they are. This is due to the fact that they could become tangled in each others cords and end up injuring themselves when trying to get free. If one dog happens to be much larger than the other, the small dog could get tangled to the point that it could choke to death.
Refrain from using higher end training gadgets, such as shock collar devices. Often times, they do not work and are over priced. In addition, shock collars and related devices can actually irritate your dog and eradicate current good behaviors. You will usually get negative results with these techniques.
To house train your pup, get him on a set feeding and potty schedule every day. This makes it clear to your dog that he has to go outside and poop now, instead of stinking up your carpet. Using this schedule can teach your dog how to hold their piddle until the upcoming potty break.
Even if you’ve got a rowdy dog, keep thinking positively. Almost any dog can be trained if the proper techniques are used. Use these tips to ease training efforts and boost your dog’s results.
